First of all read documentation in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-src and 
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-src

If you want to make .deb package you must do in command line

export KVERS=your-kernel-version
export KSRC=the-place-where-your-kernel-headers-are

cd /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel-blah-blah/

debian/rules binary_modules

then

cd /usr/src/nvidia-glx-blah-blah
dpkg-buildpackage

then cd /usr/src/ and
dpkg -i *.deb

Then change XF86Config appropriately and voila. But read the 
documentation first, it is not long, but very helpful:) And browse the 
list archives.
